DRUG-DELIVERY DEVICES WITH INTEGRATED NEEDLE-INSERTION MECHANISM

摘要

Drug-delivery devices for subcutaneous injections may be provided with pre-filled drug reservoirs and/or integrated needle-insertion mechanisms to increase ease of use of the devices. Certain device configurations include a needle disposed above or below the drug vial, parallel to the bottom wall of the device, with the needle-insertion mechanism placed at least partially side-by side with the vial.
